[ hm. well ]

I usually am one or the other. There's a lot to get irritated about and be suspicious of.

[yellowhasthechest]

Am I that awful, really?

[meteorstorm]

. . . In general.

[yellowhasthechest]

[Raising an eyebrow, but saying nothing.]

[meteorstorm]

[ tilting his head a little ]

I am in general, not you are in general.

[yellowhasthechest]

Stay like that for too long, you'll miss all the best parts of life.

[meteorstorm]

I've been given little reason not to be that way.

[yellowhasthechest]

You're gonna burn yourself out before you even get started.

[meteorstorm]

I have plenty left in me.

[yellowhasthechest]

Well, it still wouldn't kill you to ease up once in a while.

[meteorstorm]

I do. In the right situations.

[yellowhasthechest]

There are more "right situations" than you're thinking there are, I bet.

[meteorstorm]

The number one criteria is trusting the people I'm with. That doesn't happen often.

[yellowhasthechest]

There are maybe ... [a mental count] five or six people in the whole universe that I trust, but I still manage to have fun with or without them.

[meteorstorm]

Six or seven, and only one is here. Do the math.

[yellowhasthechest]

Would that one back you up if you got in over your head?

[meteorstorm]

He'd die for me if he had to.

[ and. kind of. did. ]

[yellowhasthechest]

Then I think, given the size of this place, you might be able to stop clinging to the ceiling all the time.

[meteorstorm]

I'm supposed to protect him, not the other way around.

[yellowhasthechest]

You don't think it stresses them the hell out to see you acting like a cat who's about to get his tail stepped on?

[meteorstorm]

They know why I am the way I am.

[yellowhasthechest]

[Just rolls her eyes and shifts to get more comfortable.]

[meteorstorm]

[ this is an almost grumpyface, but he doesn't say anything and just tucking his knees against his chest ]

[yellowhasthechest]

[Reaching up and pulling him flat on his back instead, sighing.]

Seriously.

[meteorstorm]

[ the only reason he's not freaking out over that is because you've temporarily registered as Safe, so he's just going to stuff his hands under the back of his head ]
